EDWARD {. COOPER DISCHARGED.

Mr.. Edward E. Cooper, the editor Of
the World, the colored peoples paper
here, is inclined to the belief that the
mills Of justice grind slowly Nearly
three years ago, while running as a
postal clerk from here to Louisville, lie
was arrested for tampering with the
mails. It took him two years to get a
trial, although he was anxious for it as
speedily as possible, and when it did
come off he was acquitted. Then the
evidence against him was sent on to the
department of justice and came back
here in the shape of an affidavit for his
re-arrest on substantially the same
charge. He asked for all immediate
trial, but a postponement was taken for
two weeks, with the understanding that
the case was to come up before Commits
sioner Jordan to-day. Mr.. Cooper and
his attorney, Mr.. Holstein, were on
hand ready for trial this morning, but
the government representatives did not
have their witnesses and were notready,
and didn't know when they would be.
The commissioner accordingly dismissed
the case and discharged the defendant.
The above is from the indianapolis
News, of March Goth. We heartily con-
graduate Mr.. Cooper upon the success
full termination of his prosecutions on
account Of color. We hope he will now
institute suit against the United States
for damages for false imprisonment
There should be some restitution made,
for the suits against Mr.. Cooper were
malicious and prompted solely on ac-
count Of his color.

Industrial Training for Girls.

III were able, I would change the
public sentiment SO radically that no
girl should be considered we'll educated,
no matter what her compl;shments,
until she had learned trade, business
or profession. There would then be
fewer fathers and brothers toiling like
galley-slaves to support healthy and
vigorous human beings in stagnating
idleness-idle for no earthly reason save
that God has made them women.
Lack of technical and industrial train
ing not only makes dependent and in
efficient women of our daughters, it puts
theui in fearful peril morally. Indo.
lence is always demoralizing. It ruins
health, destroys beauty, and enfeebles
the will. "Out of 1900 fallen women in
the city of New York, 1880 had been
brought up to do nothing; 525 pleaded
restitution as the cause oftheir sad life."
In view of these facts, which might be
multiplied indefinitely, ought we not to
rid ourselves of the inherited social idea
that it is a shameful thing for young
women to be taught to support Them
selves by honorable industry?
In an early stage Of the late war, be-
fore the Government had organized it's
various departments, saw a body of
soldiers march from the st. Louis camp
Of rendezvous, and embark on boats to
go down the Mississippi. Among them
were companies without uniforms and
without equipments. The men wore
the citizens dress in which they had en-
listed. It was explained that they had
been ordered to the front Immediately
after enlistment, in advance of the ar
rival Of their uniforms and guns, to
maintain the morale of the army, which
was unfavoraDly affected by the muster
ing out Of large numbers who had ems
listed on short terms Of service. Uni
forms. guns, and the all-important drill
would be given these raw recruits, we
were told, when they reached their
destination.
Two or three weeks later, met some
Of these, very unequipped men, still
without uniforms, on board a hospital
boat, steaming slowly up the river en-
route for the superb general hospitals Of
st. Louis. Some of the poor fellows
were so rent with shot and shell that
their own mothers would not have
recognized them. heard their pitiful
story from many lips, but it was always
the same story. Hardly had these
green boys in the clothing of civilians
reached their regiments, when they
were surprised by the enemy and with
out guns or an hours drill, they were
plunged into sharp, disastrous engage
I ment. Shot at, shot down, they could
make no defence; for they had not been
supplied with the munitions Of war, nor
Taught how to use them.

tits as wasteful, as unwise, asinhuman

tits as wasteful, as unwise, asinhuman,
to send our delicately -nurtured and ten
derly-reared young daughters ut from
the home to fight the battle fife with
out preparation for it, without Al
equipment in the form ofan industrial
and business education, as twas to send
these hapless young fellows to fight the
enemy without drill, and without guns.
The results are more disastrous, and
reach farther. Our daughters are not
shot down, like the unframed militar,
recruit; they live, but with noindividual
grasp on life. They become anxious
concerning the future, with no power to
provide for it. AT the mercy pf circum-
stances which they know not how to
control; victims of petty beliefs, old
abuses, and respectable .tyrannies, they
drop into mental ill-health, and bodily
disease comes with it.
Or they marry, and make faithful, low
ing, lovely wives to admiring husbands
But the husband dies. He was living
| OA1 WlllSu CCdSC6 WILL LIS lll6.
His young widow has one or more
children. What is she to do? Or the
husband may drop into permanent in
validism, or into bankruptcy, or into
dissolute habits. IF the young wife has
not been in part prepared for such emer-
gencies by previous training, her lot is
hard indeed.
ooh, you can't prepare girls to meet
such emergencies said an eminent
clergyman, in whose parlor this topic
was being earnestly discussed. aYou
must prepare them to be good wives
and mothers, and risk the rest. There
you will have to leave them, and trust in
God"
Our trust must be in God, to be sure.
No one disputes that. And yet I have
the deepest respect for the advice that
Oliver Cromwell gave his soldiers,
''Trust in God, and keep your powder
dry!"

it is conceded that under the limita.
tons of the constitution the rights of the
citizens of a state can only be enforced
through state or national tribunals, and
where public opinion is intolerant and
jurors will not do their duty, a citizens,
black or white, may be without remedy
for the grossest wrong, except the right
to MIGRATE to where his rights will be
respected
It is known to be fact that the damn
able theory advanced by Judge fancy,
years ago, in his bred Scott decision--a
Negro has no rights which white man
is bound to respects in full practice
in the South to day. True there are
some sort of half way concessions made
to eolored men for policy sake, but the
spirit of the infamous dicision still pre-
walls. Then, according to the statement
made by Senator Sherman, nothing is
left for the colored man to do but to
migrate. Let those VINO have means to
purchase lands be the first to leave, and
this will give Others not so fortunate, an
opportunity, perhaps, to get more work
or better pay. The broad domain Of
the Northwest is open to all who wish
to come and till her soil, and here the
rights of the citizens of all colors and
nationalities are fully protected by state
laws. We do not advocate general
exodus but gentle migration which
will not paralyze the industries at home
nor over burden the advantages of the
locality which may be selected. We
would not advise location in the cities
which are already over crowded with
skilled laborers, but to go to the woods
and vast prairies which are stretched
out on every side inviting all who will
to come and take possession of them.
Good land accessible to the markets, can
be obtained at low rates and with care
and perseverance bountiful returns are
the sure results.
Here all are equal in the enjoyment
of the highest political and civil liberties
and every man can worship God under
his own vine and fig tree according to
the dictates of his conscience, with none
to modest him or to make him afraid.

While every body seems tc, be going
wild and growing rich, through real
estate, in this neck of the woods; it
seems little singular that colo red men

their frirer.hued and straigllter-baired

But when it comes to business enter
